How long does the bleeding last?

I'm at four weeks and still bleeding. Is it ever gonna end? Lol

My actual bleeding(bright red) lasted just about a week, my discharge(brownish) lasted about 2 and a half weeks. It does end don't worry. I've also hurd you bleed more/harder when breastfeeding.

I was still bleeding the same over here (5 weeks pp) but over the last two days it's tapered down.

Im at almost 3 weeks and still bleeding.. But my hospital said at least 6 weeks.
It went from heavy to only coming and brown when I pumped and now it is dark red again.
Wooooh the blooooood lol.

Still bleeding at 5 wks. Sad face.

Mine is weird. One day it will be like moderate, then the next day there's almost nothing there.

I'm 4 weeks pp and every time I think it's stopped it starts again. So I'm happy to only need a pantiliner but I hate pads in general it grosses me out.

With both of my girls after the pp bleeding stopped I didn't get my period until I stopped EBF. It was the best BC it didn't come back until 6 months due to my girls eating solids and having less BM.

Bright red blood until 2 1/2 weeks pp, now it's this weird combo of slightly bloody brownish junk. With DD I bled for what seemed like forever so I'm sure up to 6 weeks is normal. Luckily I didn't get a period until around her first birthday

hoping for the same this time around.

Bright red for maybe the first week, then it became brownish and tapered off to a very light spotting, which I still have at almost 4 weeks.

I'm 3 weeks PP. I thought that it had finally stopped, but the bleeding returned today. Thank goodness I put on a pad before leaving the house.

Another bleeding question: passing clots is there a cut off as to how big they are to be a concern?

My doctor said to call of larger than a golf ball.

My doctor said the same...to call if I had a clot larger than a golf ball. I made her repeat it because I thought that was crazy-big.

Okay good. I've had some big ones but not that big. I almost stopped bleeding completely then I started pumping and now it's back. *sigh*

I finally stopped around 5 weeks only for a period to start right after...

At my 6 wk check up this past Wednesday they checked me just to make sure all was good and it was indeed just AF.

4.5 weeks and still bleeding.....it kind of depends on the day how much. One day I won't bleed at all and the next I will. With DD1, my period returned in oct. and she was an early sept. baby. With my DS, my period came back 6 months postpartum. I EBF both.

diagonalley · July 2014

I stopped right around the 4 weeks mark. Tomorrow will be 10 weeks pp and still no AF

Mia081081 · July 2014

I think I stopped around 4 weeks last time. At 3 weeks, I still have some pink spotting, though most of the day I have nothing.

With dd1, AF didn't return until about a month after I stopped breastfeeding. So 14-15 months pp. it was amazing!

4 wks PP and intermittent bright red with brownish discharge, I imagine it will go on for at least another 2 weeks
